334: A Secret For Forever

A Secret For Forever

Huo You struggled free from He Yu's grip and gritted her teeth. "Don't worry. She doesn't know that we were the ones who planned that incident. If she knew, why would she help me?"1

Although Huo You sounded very certain, He Yu was still a little hesitant.

As the mastermind who had planned that kidnapping incident, He Yu was certain that he had gotten rid of all the evidence that wasn't beneficial to him. However, Huo Tian and Si Huan had still managed to find out that it was him through some traces.

That time, Huo Tian had lost control of her emotions and attacked He Yu, almost taking his life. If it hadn't been for the fact that she had almost killed someone, they definitely wouldn't have let He Yu off so easily.

Only now did He Yu confirm that Ding Rong knew nothing about the background behind the kidnapping.

He Yu heaved a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed tone, "That's good too. Since Mrs. Hill doesn't know what we've done to her in the past, let this matter remain a secret forever."

"Of course I don't want her to know. If she finds out that I was behind the kidnapping, she'll probably feel sad and hurt."

Although Huo You had tried his best to hide it, he still noticed the tremble in Huo You's voice. Only then did he realize that Huo You seemed to be crying.

He reached out and pulled Huo You's face back from the window. Only then did He Yu realize that Huo You's face was covered in tears.

He Yu looked at Huo You in surprise, feeling touched for some reason. His tone softened unconsciously. "What happened? You can tell me directly. We're engaged and are one entity."

Huo You felt that He Yu's gentleness was extremely ironic. However, now wasn't the time to go against him. She really needed to borrow He Yu's power to achieve her goals.

Huo You took a deep breath, wiped away the tears on her face, and said half-jokingly, "I spoke to Mrs. Hill in the dressing room previously. I pleaded with her to help me get more say in the Huo Family. She sympathized with everything I encountered in the Huo Family, so she had that butler say those words in front of everyone. She's using this method to help me."

He Yu's heart stirred slightly. He subconsciously calculated how much benefits he could get from using the relationship between Huo You and Mrs. Hill…

"This means that Mrs. Hill has deep feelings for you, my dear. This is a good thing, isn't it?"

He Yu gently pulled Huo You into his embrace and whispered into her ear in a bewitching voice, "Compared to Mrs. Huo, that Mrs. Hill is such a gentle and kind mother. I think you like this adoptive mother more, right? Then why don't we work hard to repair the relationship between the two of you?"

Huo You felt a chill run down her spine when she heard He Yu's coaxing and bewitching words.

At this moment, she suddenly recalled a saying she had read somewhere. If a person became outstanding enough or stood at a high enough place, then all the people around him would be good people.

Ding Rong was probably in such a situation now. She had once been an ordinary tailor who lived in an urban village, surrounded by neighbors who liked to speak ill of others behind their backs and liked to take advantage of petty gains. There were also passersby who gossiped about her identity and past, as well as men who coveted her beauty and wanted to take her by force… And now, amongst the people who appeared in front of Mrs. Hill, which one of them wasn't a refined gentleman or lady?

This change was especially obvious on He Yu. In the past, he had looked down on Ding Rong and didn't care about her life or death at all. Now, He Yu probably couldn't wait to make Ding Rong his mother-in-law.

His change in attitude was so drastic that Huo You gained a new understanding of He Yu. She felt disdain for him and pushed him away hard.

Huo You glared at him coldly and couldn't help but mock, "Why? You want to get close to Mrs. Hill now? It's a pity that with the He Family's status and position, you don't seem to be worthy of her precious daughter, right?"

He Yu was a little unhappy, but when he saw Huo You's cold expression, his unhappiness dissipated.

He went to Huo You's side again and explained gently, "You've misunderstood. I definitely don't have the intention to get close with Mrs. Hill's biological daughter."
